Puisi

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb

Kali ini aku akan mengeshare sebuah puisi, puisi ini diambil dari novel Love & Misadventure.. Tetapi disini ada beberapa kalimat yang aku ubah.. gak papa kan? hihi, langsung aja, silahkan disimak :)

Count to Ten

I hold my breath and count to ten,

I stand and sit, then stand again.

I cross and uncross my legs,

He is in front of me.

The dial turns with every twist,

Around the watch, around his wrist.

Resting there with pen in hand,

Who could ever understand?

The way he writes of all I dream,

Things kind yet cruel and in-between.

Where underneath those twisted trees,

A pretty girl fallen to her knees.

Who could know the world we’ve spun?

I shrug my shoulders and hold my tongue.

I hold my breath and count to ten,

I stand and sit, then stand again.

Angels

It happens like this. One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else, closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps because this person carries an angel within them, one sent to you for some higher purpose, to teach you an important lessonor to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them, even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering. The reason for their presence will become clear in due time.

Tough here is a word of warning, you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn’t to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled, the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

FYI : It’s so dark right now, I can’t see any light around. But you are in front of me (?), the light is coming from you. You can’t see it but everyone else can.
